NEW BIKE DAY! Anderson Lugged Stainless

When you're currently riding an Independent Fabrication SSR you don't normally long for something new, especially something else that's stainless steel.  But Rob was affixed on an Anderson, I believe he told me after Anderson won The President's Choice Award at the 2011 North American Handmade Bicycle Show.

This bike was truly something special to see come out of the box, and I can't help but to assume even better to ride.  Brushed KVA stainless tubes with polished stainless lugs on the frame.  The fork is even stainless with brushed legs and polished lugs.  The only thing that isn't stainless is the steerer tube.

Complete bike photos coming in the near future.

Enough with words, just enjoy the photos.

New IF Shots

A few new shots have recently made their way out of Independent Fabrication HQ I thought I'd share...

First up is an SSR MAX with blue/gray panels beautifully painted.  My love runs deep for the SSR having owned one in the past and currently riding an SSR MAX made like this one.  The panels turned out beautiful, though I'm still hung up on raw.

Another SSR MAX with an interesting 3/4 paint with well-executed jersey panels incorporating some raw stripes showing through.

A silver Corvid caps things off nicely.  Again, I'm personally a fan of raw on this carbon frame, but the silver turned out much better than I would have expected.  The new script is all class and I can't help but to assume once built this bike will be stunning.

That's it for now....
